Spring those clocks ahead an hour this weekend for daylight saving time

However, through legislation passed in 2006, Daylight Saving Time now begins three weeks earlier, on the second Sunday in March, ending on the first Sunday in November.

Go slow. In the week before DST, try to put your kids to bed 15 minutes early to prep them for the time change.

It’s been feeling more like summer this week, but it’s spring that’s just around the corner, and that means it’s time to spring our clocks forward. Which meant that anyone relying on their iPhone to arrive somewhere on time, showed up two hours late.

Watch repairer Yervant Loussararian with Yervant Jewelry said having to change the time twice a year is actually good for his business. Ideally, people would spend time outside, enjoying the extra hour of daylight, rather than sit inside, wasting energy on lighting, Franklin reasoned.

So, what’s it called: Daylight Saving Time or Daylight Savings Time?

A lighthearted hearing included Osmundson joking that “This is a sunshine bill with an implied sunset”, but noting the challenge of adjusting his own children to the time change. Which means that at 2am Sunday morning in the US, your phone will jump to 4am automatically.

You’ll lose an hour’s sleep Saturday night, but gain more evening light in the months ahead, when the weather warms and you want to be outdoors.

Looking on the bright side (so to speak), the changeovers to daylight time in the spring, and back to standard time in the fall, are, in at least one way, easier than in the past.

Among the states, only Hawaii and much of Arizona will keep their clocks set to Standard Time.

Assembly member Kenneth Chu, D-San Diego, introduced a bill on February 15 that would abolish daylight saving time in California after receiving complaints that the time shift creates an issue for parents and older people. Iowa was worse; it had 23 different start and end times.

Though it was better spaced when Daylight Saving Time was closer to six months long than eight, changing the clocks is still a good time to change the batteries in your smoke / CO detectors.
